Saxton will coordinate and promote filming in the Southern California destination known as "Surf City USA."
Recognizing the economic impact and marketing benefits of new film projects, the City of Huntington Beach provided additional financial support for the new Huntington Beach Film Commission. "Huntington Beach has been fortunate to be the site of many different television programs, films and commercials," stated City Manager Fred Wilson. "We are pleased to support the new Film Commission and continue to welcome producers to the city. The Huntington Beach Film Commission will be a true asset to location managers and production teams, assisting in scouting locations and processing permits."
Huntington Beach Film Commission provides free assistance for film, television, online, photography and commercial productions in finding locations, lodging, and catering within Huntington Beach. Location scouts and production companies may view dozens of prospective locations, as well as assorted production resources, at the dedicated HB Film Commission website, www.FilmHuntingtonBeach.com.
In addition to providing production assistance, HB Film Commission will also spearhead the marketing of Huntington Beach as a filming destination for future productions.
"I am very excited to promote this beautiful city to the film and television industry, and to inform them of production resources and lesser-known locations within Huntington Beach," says Film Commissioner Briton Saxton.
Orange County, California native Saxton has been involved in the film industry since 2008, and graduated from California State University at Long Beach with a degree in Film and Electronic Arts.
